NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 338 Giant Hammer, Timberwolves Transform into Huskies in Seconds! !

Timberwolves attack.

The tactics of the Timberwolves are similar to those of the Lakers. The inside strength is relatively strong. The ball is handed over to the inside first, and the inside and outside cooperation tactics are used, or the outside line rushes in and plays a sudden score tactic.

Ray Allen broke through with the ball. At the top right of the arc, he first pulled to the right wing, and then immediately changed direction. He broke through Snow again, from the right elbow to the paint.

Kobe on the right was still a step behind when he made up defense.

Ben, the low post on the right wing, came up to defend, and Ray Allen changed direction again, changed direction to the left, bypassed the defender, and rushed to the basket.

Only Lin Hong was left. In the last pass, he could no longer care about Garnett and returned to the basket.

At this time, Ray Allen hit the ground and gave him a more trusted Gugliotta.

Gugliotta received the ball and after attracting Lin Hong, passed the ball over the top to Garnett behind Lin Hong.

Garnett, two meters to the left of the basket, caught the ball with an iron-blooded jumper and hit a goal.

This is his third goal. The Timberwolves are now scored by him alone. He made 5 of 3 shots and is very efficient.

"It's really hard to defend against two!"

Lin Hong had a big head, and this Garnett didn't even come to the basket, so he had no chance to block the shot.

"We have to pay equal attention to offense and defense."

He originally hoped to limit the offense of the Timberwolves' two major insiders through defense. He did a good start in defense, but now that Gugliota and Garnett have regained their senses and changed their strategies, the effect is greatly reduced.

10:6, the Lakers attack.

"ball!"

Lin Hong was in the low position on the left wing, and he opened his hand outside the left line of the paint to ask for the ball.

Snow pulled to the left and passed the ball down.

Lin Hong caught the ball and arched his back, then suddenly made a feint, turned and slid down.

Garnett immediately turned sideways and stuck to Lin Hong's side. At the same time, Gugliotta assisted the basket and blocked Lin Hong's front. The two formed a double-team, blocking Lin Hong at the bottom line.

"boom!"

Lin Hong suddenly stopped, pulled the ball back, and returned the same way, getting rid of the double-teaming of the two.

Then he turned around and dribbled the ball, leaning on Garnett with his back to shift the offensive direction from the left side of the basket to the square of the basket.

At this moment, Gugliotta was separated by Garnett and temporarily lost his defensive position. As soon as Garnett turned around, Lin Hong immediately became violent.

"boom!"

Under the one-arm dunk, Garnett, who was too late to take off, was knocked back, even if Gugliotta pulled him, he fell to the ground.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew his whistle and pointed directly at Garnett's jersey number, making a gesture to block the foul.

"Ness!!"

Lin Hong waved his fist excitedly.

It's nothing to score a goal on a tough guy who is fighting and retreating, even on O'Neill's big guy. What excites him is the successful use of footwork.

"It's so beautiful! Continuously moving, Lin Hong [-]vs [-], knocking out Gugliota and Garnett." Sun Zhengping shouted excitedly.

Zhang Lili also said excitedly: "Lin Hong's style of play at the basket is different from Garnett's. Garnett just swayed and then made jump shots, but Lin Hong dribbled continuously. It's really amazing to play outside the line!"

Far away in New York, seeing this goal, Shark O'Neal's eyelids twitched, and he cursed inwardly, this damned giant moves around the basket so much, he'd better break his ankle one day.

On the field, Garnett also exclaimed in amazement: "Lin, your pace is good! You completely got rid of the defense of the two of us."

"It has to be, it's not difficult to beat you two." Lin Hong said proudly.

"(⊙o⊙) What? You're not a toad, what are you blowing?" Garnett said angrily.

Lin Hong smiled and stood at the free throw line.

"Shh!"

Lin Hongjia made a free throw.

13:6, Timberwolves attack.

In the next time, the two sides launched an offensive and defensive battle in the low position.

Gugliotta and Garnett are really good, one left and one right in the low post, no matter how good Lin Hong's defense is, most of the time he can't prevent the cooperation of the two.

But even if he can't defend, he still has to spare no effort to defend as much as possible, putting maximum defensive pressure on the two to reduce their offensive efficiency.

However, he changed his defensive strategy and focused on Garnett. Today he can't let Garnett play beautiful numbers, otherwise he will lose face.

As for Gugliotta, Big Ben's defense is somewhat useful, and it can somewhat reduce Gugliotta's efficiency.

As long as he guards against Garnett and cuts off the connection between Gugliota and Garnett, even if Gugliota gets more points, the Lakers still have a chance to win.

And Gugliota didn't dare to go to the basket easily, it would only give him a chance to make up defense, so the shooting percentage of nearly two points, Gugliota will not be too high, as long as his own low attack It's hard to say whether you win or lose.

"Snapped!"

In the 6th minute of the first quarter, Lin Hong capped Garnett again.

This time it was Gugliota who scored the ball, but Lin Hong adjusted his defensive strategy, that is, to stare at Garnett, making it difficult for him to catch the ball, so he completed a successful defense in time.

Seeing Lin Hong's defensive strategy, Gugliotta immediately strengthened his offense, hoping to attract Lin Hong's defensive attention and create opportunities for Garnett.

However, Lin Hong made up his mind and only helped defend to the basket, which made Gugliota's plan aborted.

In this way, Lin Hong cut off the low-post cooperation of the Timberwolves' two insiders, Garnett was marked to death, and Gugliota could only support the Timberwolves' low-post offense alone.

"Snapped!"

In the 7th minute, Gugliotta swayed Daben again, then turned around and rushed to the basket, but Lin Hong's defense was very fast, he strode over and slapped the ball away.

"Lin, it's cruel!" Garnett gritted his teeth with hatred.

"If you want to come over and beat me up, what's the point of staring at Kevin?" Gugliota raised his chin provocatively.

"On the art of war, we are the ancestors."

Lin Hong was not fooled, Gugliotta's aggressive method was useless, he continued to stare at Garnett, just to prevent the two from playing in low positions.

But today is back-to-back, and the outside teammates are not very good, the touch is average, and it doesn't help him very much.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves also have weaknesses on the perimeter. Ray Allen and Chris Kyle are not efficient enough.

Ray Allen is not that three-point shot yet. At this time, he mainly focuses on breakthroughs, but several insiders are crowded inside, and there is very little room for breakthroughs. He has no choice but to shoot outside, and his efficiency is relatively average.

The Lakers have Snow and Kobe on the perimeter, Ray Allen and Chris Kyle can hold a stalemate, but the main thing is low-post offense and defense, whoever is stronger wins.

In addition, the Lakers have a big advantage, the bench lineup is stronger than the Timberwolves.

Rick Fox's strength can be used as the main small forward, and one of Campbell or the rebounding king Rodman can provide rebounds in the bench lineup. The Lakers have certain advantages when they come off the bench.

After three quarters, 84:77, the Lakers led by 7 points.

Sun Zhengping said excitedly: "The Lakers' substitute players scored a total of 21 points in the first three quarters, while the Timberwolves' substitute players only scored 11 points. This is the key reason why the Lakers opened up the score.

In addition, Lin Hong really broke out on the defensive end. Garnett made 5 of the first 3 shots and only 7 of the last 2 shots, which was far below the normal level.

再加上3罚1中，加内特只拿到11分6篮板2助攻1盖帽4失误3犯规，表现远不如正常水平。

However, under Lin Hong's full defense, he can still shoot more than [-]% of his shots, which is indeed strong enough. After two more seasons of training, he may really become Lin Hong's formidable opponent. "

Zhang Lili continued: "Garnett was stared at by Lin Hong, Lin Hong cut off the connection between Gugliota and him, and he wanted to play Lin Hong in singles, and it was difficult to stand on the edge of the paint. Pushed one step outside the paint, where he wasn't effective enough.

If he wanted to single out Lin Hong, there were two ways.

The first is to gain weight. The current weight is about 115 kg. It is difficult to single-handedly beat Lin Hong. It is too light and not strong enough to fight.

His movements have been deformed during the confrontation, and his hit rate is not high enough. If he gains weight to 130 kilograms, he may still be able to compete with Lin Hong. Even if he only gains weight to 125 kilograms, his resistance ability will increase a lot.

The second is not to enter the basket head-to-head, play outside, strengthen the face-to-basket mid-range shot, mid-to-long-range fadeaway jumper and back-up jumper and other techniques. "

Sun Zhengping nodded and looked at the statistics in his hand: "Gugliotta's offense is very efficient tonight, he has already scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, and his shooting percentage is 52%, which has exceeded the performance of this season. The average level is quite stable!
This shows that Da Ben, who was facing him, really couldn't guard against him, and completely beat his opponent.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "Although the Lakers did not have a big lead in the first three quarters, but in the final quarter, I think it is still possible to open the score in one fell swoop and reap the game.

Gugliotta played 32 minutes in the first three quarters and only rested for 4 minutes. His average playing time this season is 38 minutes, with an average rest of 10 minutes per game. It depends on whether he fights hard or not in the final quarter.

His main attack today must consume a lot of energy.

In addition, Garnett also played 32 minutes. His average playing time is 39 minutes per game, and he should also need to rest in the final quarter.

As long as one of them goes down, if Lin Hong stays on the court, then the Lakers can definitely beat the Timberwolves immediately. "

Sun Zhengping said: "Lin Hong played 32 minutes in three quarters, just like Garnett, with his physical fitness, he should have left his energy for the final quarter."

Zhang Lili said: "Sure, playing against such a team, the last quarter is the key."

孙正平看着数据统计：“林洪前三节22投15中，命中率68.2%，9罚6中，拿到了36分12篮板4助攻1抢断6盖帽2失误2犯规。

6 caps, two for Gugliota, three for Garnett, and one for Ray Allen. "

Zhang Lili said: "Under the cooperation of Gugliotta and Garnett, he still hits a terrifying shooting percentage close to 7%, which is simply terrifying!!"

New York, Madison Square Garden.

A group of Rain Man and O'Neill were also discussing the game, and Xiao Fan and other coaches also participated.

The Rainman said: "We should also learn from the Timberwolves' offensive strategy, strengthen the cooperation between the inside and the inside, and then let Shaq try to prevent the efficiency of Lin Hong."

Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Today, the Timberwolves' offensive strategy is really good. Basically, they have mobilized Lin Hong. It's a pity that they can't effectively restrain Lin Hong's attack on the defensive end."

Having said that, he glanced at O'Neill and felt that the Sharks could also play Lin Hong's super dominance on both offense and defense.

Compared with Lin Hong, O'Neal is not as good as Lin Hong in terms of free throws and support.

In the game that defeated the Timberwolves a few days ago, O'Neal scored 38 points, shooting more than [-]% from the field, and played Gugliota and Garnett together enough.

He feels that O'Neal's dominance is slightly inferior to that of Lin Hong, but under the double-teaming of Gugliota and Garnett, O'Neal's ability to break through double-teams is stronger, which may be the reason for Xia Tian's weight gain .

O'Neal gained weight during the offseason, and he supported it. The Sharks have indeed become more explosive after gaining weight, and their flexibility has not decreased much.

If the Knicks play this tactic, it will definitely achieve the effect of the Lakers.

Rainman continued: "Judging from this game, Kevin Garnett and Tom Gugliotta can't deal with Lin Hong at all.

Kevin Garnett's tonnage is light. His position is a big center. He can't handle it on the defensive end, and he can't handle Lin Hong's strong confrontation on the offensive end. There is a big gap between the top insiders.

However, his face-up three-threat jumper, back-up back turn or front turn throw, lob dunks and second offense are quite good. "

"Of course, I think Sean is right, the biggest hope of reaching the finals in the Western Conference this season, besides the Lakers, is the Jazz.

As for the Timberwolves?
It would be great to break through the first round of the playoffs. "

Target Center Arena, the last quarter of the game begins.

For the Timberwolves, the main force is all out, and the inside line is replaced by Stanley Roberts, a big meat shield with a height of 2 meters and a weight of 13 kg.

It seems that the victory of this game is still very eager.

For the Lakers, the power forward is Rodman, the small forward is Rick Fox, the shooting guard is Kobe Bryant, and the point guard is Snow.

The Lakers attack.

Lin Hong stayed outside for two seconds. When he saw Kobe holding the ball beyond the left-wing three-point line, he suddenly started to bypass Stanley Roberts and cut to the basket.

The cutting angle is one step above Stanley Roberts on the left waist of the paint area, in order to prevent the opponent from cutting off the passing line between him and the outside line.

Lin Hong's cut started, directly pressing the Lakers' offensive button, and also triggered the Timberwolves' defensive button.

"Whoosh!"

Snow quickly combined the ball and made a high-lobed basket.

On the right wing, Garnett dropped Rodman and quickly returned to the basket.

Stanley Roberts also immediately turned to chase.

"Snapped!"

Lin Hong received a pass from Snow when he cut into the left waist of the paint.

At this time Garnett chased up and got under him.

At the same time, Stanley Roberts on the opposite side also rushed into the paint area. As long as he goes further, he will be caught in the double-team of the two insiders.

At the same time, Gugliota pounced, and was immediately surrounded by three people.

"Crench!"

Lin Hong braked urgently, retreated suddenly while dribbling, and immediately avoided the double-teaming of Garnett and Gugliotta.

In the next moment, he retreated and advanced, along the bottom line, from the lower side of Garnett, Lin Hong made a fierce stride, facing Gugliota under the basket, his figure exploded, like a tiger pounced Food.

"boom!"

Just as Garnett turned right, Lin Hong broke through from under him, so he had to turn right again urgently. How could there be too much time?
"Ugh!"

Faced with such a ferocious dunk, Gugliota didn't want to get hurt, so he could only sigh secretly and choose to stay away.

"boom!"

Under Lin Hong's one-handed dunk, the Lakers cheered and cheered, while the Timberwolves were silent.

"Perfect offense at the basket, it's too strong! Lin Hong is too strong now!" Sun Zhengping roared very excitedly.

"It's really unreasonably strong!"

Zhang Lili laughed loudly, and then said: "Lin Hong retreats and advances, it's really mysterious!
He moved forward by retreating, and directly changed the direction of attack, completely getting rid of the double-teaming of Garnett and Gugliota.

Generally, this kind of offensive technique can only be done by outside players, and the inside players don't even think about it. "

Timberwolves attack.

Coach Philip Sanders adjusted the tactical arrangement, and Garnett pulled directly to the far two-point area.

He saw that Garnett was locked up by Lin Hong, and the two insiders could not connect, so he simply asked him to pull out, and brought Lin Hong out, so that Gugliota singled Rodman under the basket.

Does this tactic work?No.

Seeing Garnett running out, Rodman immediately switched defenses with Lin Hong. Lin Hong defended Gugliota, and Rodman followed.

The Lakers management chose a mobile power forward like Rodman in order to be able to follow out and let Lin Hong guard the basket.

In the low position on the right wing, Lin Hong tried his best to defend Guglio Tower, and the ceiling-level confrontation ability was activated. Guglio Tower couldn't stand up at all, so he had to withdraw, and then tried to bypass Lin Hong from another direction and enter paint area.

"Sorry, this road is blocked."

Lin Hong's pace is more flexible than his now, and an extremely fast movement once again blocked him from the paint.

However, Gugliota was not a vegetarian either. He turned around and ran backwards, and then bypassed Lin Hong and entered the paint area.

But the Timberwolves couldn't wait on the perimeter. When Gugliota entered the paint, shooting guard Ray Allen had already shot a three-pointer against Kobe.

"Bang!"

Short, the front edge of the ball hitting the basket bounced high.

"Get out of the way."

Lin Hong turned around and rushed to the basket like a heavy tank. Using his height advantage and strong confrontation ability, he forcibly squeezed Gugliota away and firmly protected the backcourt rebound.

Next, Philip Sanders gave new instructions to let Garnett go to the high position and play high pick-and-roll tactics with Ray Allen.

The Lakers attack, Kobe Bryant misses a fadeaway jumper, Garnett grabs the rebound, and the Timberwolves attack.

Garnett set up in the high post and ran a pick-and-roll with Ray Allen, who broke through the wall, shook off Kobe, and went straight into the paint.

Lin Hong could only choose to switch defenses. At this time, Ray Allen passed back, and Garnett hit a high jumper on Kobe's head after receiving the ball.

"My mistake made him take the opportunity to steal one." Lin Hong shrugged at Kobe.

"It's my real strength, not luck." Garnett shouted at Lin Hong angrily.

Lin Hong laughed, didn't bother to pay attention to Garnett, and moved forward.

Staring at Lin Hong's back, Garnett was so angry that scolding him was better than ignoring him. This was ignoring him completely, and he wanted to teach Lin Hong a lesson.

Looking back, the Lakers attack.

Lin Hong went directly to the basket to get a position.

The meat shield Stanley Roberts immediately blocked the defense, but he couldn't stand it, so he had to go around instead.

It's just that he can't go around if he wants to. Lin Hong's big elbow swung across, directly blocking him to the left.

Then Kobe's pass arrives.

Gugliota quickly double-teamed the basket.

Lin Hong received the ball with his right hand. At this time, Stanley Roberts was already behind him, and Gugliotta also jumped to his left.

Facing the double-team, Lin Hong suddenly turned to the right, avoiding Gugliotta's big hand, handed the ball to his left hand, and after his right elbow pressed against Stanley Roberts behind him, he dunked forcibly on the spot.

"Don't think about it!"

Stanley Roberts gritted his teeth and was about to take off to block the shot when a huge force hit him and knocked him over instantly.

"Bang!"

The next moment, as the rim exploded, Stanley Roberts was knocked to the ground while swallowing a dunk.

"Dudududu!"

Stanley Roberts blocked the foul, scored two points, and added a free throw.

"That's it?!"

"Whoosh..."

Stanley Roberts panted heavily, and the confrontation with Lin Hong made him realize what a flood monster is.

He defended O'Neal's big shark a few days ago, although it was very difficult, but it was far from being so scary. In addition, Garnett could help defend at any time, and he could still limit the impact of the big shark to a certain extent.

But facing the giants of the Celestial Dynasty today, he was totally powerless to fight back. Lin Hong's fighting ability was too strong, even stronger than the big shark, and he couldn't hold it at all.

If the alliance doesn't introduce new rules, I'm afraid his bones will be broken by Lin Hong, right? !
